Looking into this little screen, a little plastic box, opens the door to the entire world! Isn't that just wild! Who knows what will happen next. I sure don't and I am skeptical of anyone who says they do, so it wouldn't matter if they did because I probably wouldn't listen.
This isn't about being right or being clever, it is about having a voice! I have just started and I don't know what this will turn into or if I will have the time and discipline to keep it alive. Time will tell!

1.Respect the line. If
you have a ticket they will let you get on. Don't go to the front of the line
and "merge" in front of 150 people who actually are in line. We see
you even if you pretend to be invisible.

2.Have your boarding
card, ID, etc. out before you get to the front of the line. If you can't find
your boarding card, step to the side and let others go past while you look in
your one carry-on, one large handbag, computer bag, odd little extra bag, hanger
bag, a paper tube with the advertising campaign you are going to pitch to your
client and the two plastic bags of stuff you bought in the airport shops.

3.When the airline says
one carry-on and one small handbag they don't mean one carry-on, one large handbag,
computer bag, odd little extra bag, hanger bag, a paper tube with the
advertising campaign you are going to pitch to your client and the two plastic
bags of stuff you bought in the airport shops.

4.If instead of one
carry-on and one small handbag you actually bring one carry-on, one big
handbag, a computer bag, an odd little extra bag, a hanger bag, a paper tube
containing the advertising campaign you are going to pitch to your client and
the two plastic bags of stuff you bought in the airport shops and if you cut
into the front of the line to make sure you can get room in the overhead bin
for your one carry-on, one big handbag, a computer bag, an odd little extra
bag, a hanger bag, a paper tube with the advertising campaign you are going to
pitch to your client and the two plastic bags of stuff you bought in the
airport shops, don't be surprised and all righteous and indignant if someone removes one or two of your
"carry-on" items and places them in the aisle, especially if you
aren't sitting anywhere close to the vicinity of the overhead bins where your
plethora of personal belongs are stored. (Breath)

5.Take off your coat before
you actually enter the plane so you don’t have to put all your worldly
possessions in the aisle so you can take off your coat while 150 of us behind
you wait because you cut in line ahead of us.

6.If despite everything
I have written here you insist on entering the plane with all your junk and
pile it all in the aisle while you take off your coat please don’t wear your
delicate “in-threat-of-extinction-skin-of-something-you-shot-on-safari-in-Africa”
coat that can’t possibly be wadded up and stuffed into whatever crevice there
is amongst all your stuff in the overhead bins (like the rest of us cattle do
with our outer garments) while 150 of us other passengers are waiting behind you
because you cut in front of us in line.And if you do all of this at least and don’t start a big pontification
about bad service and “don’t you know who I am” with the cabin personnel because
they don’t have a humidified room to hand your rare dead coat in.
